Ten Questions Worth Considering

If you have read the Q-and-A Club, the blog, and Ask Yourself Questions and Change Your Life, you know that I believe questions are excellent vehicles for better understanding ourselves and others.

And if you write for the web, you know that the Internet offers the flexibility to change what you write or offer visitors. That has certainly been the case with a program I've called Ten Questions Worth Considering

First, I had the idea of creating a list of questions that would be of interest to a wide variety of people.

Second, I put together nine questions and asked my readers to chose the tenth.

Third, I invited readers to send in their answers, which two readers did and I put those answers online.

Fourth, I attended a conference at which I met a number of other people who offer personal growth websites and recognized the value of using the new recording techniques in which I can interview someone over the telephone and play that interview for my readers (listeners?), with a transcription included online.

Fifth, I have scheduled my first interview with Vince Poscente, the author of The Age of Speed: Learning to Thrive in a More-Faster-Now World. That will be early in October.

Sixth, I invite you to give me the name of anyone (including yourself) whose answers would make for good listening, and reading. Simply send me a note at Contact Us and I'll set up a time for the interview.

Eventually, I'll assemble the answers from dozens (or even hundreds) of interviews and publish them in a book.
